# Stop & Note vs ++Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Stop & Note at 5.0 against ++Timer's 3.8. Stop & Note also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). ++Timer's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Stop & Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Stop & Note's written reviews are positive against 80% of ++Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
